A Different and Challenging Term 1 at Tamaki Intermediate!


What a busy yet lovely term I had at Tamaki Intermediate!                  
First memory and reflection I am going to write about is our swimming carnival we had last month. We had two groups called “Sharkies” and “Nemos.”  I was in Sharkies. Our house Leaders and Captains asked us whether we would freestyle or backstroke. I decided to choose backstroke. When the groups finished deciding, the year 7’s had to go in front of the pool.  First it was freestyle then backstroke. I came 2nd in the first race and in the next race I came 1st.  I was very happy and proud of myself. We had a great time.
For the year 7 girl’s softball tournament, we went in a white van with Mrs. Takarei. Shamine, Aluat, and I went to play 5 schools. I was a sub. We won 3 games and lost 2. We had a big smile on our faces when we came back to school. The next morning we heard great news we came 2nd in the whole of Auckland! That was the best I have ever played!
Learning at Tamaki Intermediate is very good. I love learning to read and write, I love solving maths problems. I enjoyed term 1 and am looking forward to Term 2.

On the 10th of March 2011, the Year 7 students of Tamaki Intermediate visited the Museum of Transport and Technology. A wonderful lady called Elaine showed us around and answered our questions. We went because it was to help us with our learning about ‘Kiwiana’ of our Amazing Aotearoa. After she answered our questions my class got spit up into 2 groups. I went with my cool teacher Mrs Andrews. My group saw lots of these old fashioned clothes and transport. As we looked around and walked past the different things about our beautiful country, we saw lots of signs that said DO NOT TOUCH.
We had a wonderful time learning about New Zealand. Term 1 was busy yet excellent because we learned a lot in this short time.
